Cocktails are often at the center of holiday get-togethers, and for elegant celebrations, Freda's Martini is a great choice.

Or, to liven up the New Year's Day celebration brunch menu serve up a California Mary or two, in honor of National Bloody Mary Day. Horseradish, spicy green beans and California Ripe Olives, are just a few ingredients that come together to kick-off a great year ahead.
When it comes to light bites, bold flavors that satisfy every taste are the way to go. Stuffed, glazed or wrapped, California Ripe Olives offer exactly what your guests are looking for. Glaze them with honey, miso, garlic or other bold ingredients for a quick and yummy bite. Stuffed olives are easy to make, and even easier to eat. Try California Ripe Olives with roasted garlic, mozzarella or salami for an extra serving of yum.
What's a party without dessert? The mild and buttery flavor of California Ripe Olives can add something magical to sweet treats, including Maple Olive Cheesecake or Olive Orange Biscotti. When California Ripe Olives are paired with the rich taste of caramel and whiskey, you've got a Whiskey Olive Caramel Sauce that your guests will want to dip into again-and-again.
